I would have loved to go someplace quiet and cool and spend my day. Some days I am bored of d chatting online.. I just want peace and quiet. Do you ever feel this way? Is there something else you'd rather being doing?

I would love to be out with nature such as you seem to be surrounded by, but living in the city/suburb we don't have much of that. So I will just go stay at your place.

@crazyhorseladycx Really?? You have an empty home on your property that gives you access to all the nature and wildlife? If that is the case, I would gladly become a ranch hand for you and work for room and board.

I would rather be in the Caribbean sipping a Pina Colada. Basking in the sun, while watching the waves roll in. However, I am here facing reality.

@sofssu Dreaming tends to get me into trouble, for if I dream too long, I have to turn it into a reality. the bank account will only allow so much.

@TexanTornado Sounds like a nice holiday.. I love pina colada too. .. Now you can dream on for a while.. you don't have to be so realistic always.

Sometimes I try to focus on chores, and daily tasks. Sometimes I run away and watch mindless TV. Sometimes I do online shopping, like this morning, but the site is annoying me with delays so I am here instead,

@sofssu Strolling in the garden gives me enough exercise walking from one end to the other. I also have a terrace garden

I just go into my garden when I get tired of the computer. Next week we're going to the coast where internet access is very limited, so I'm sure I'll come back refreshed.

You seem to be the happiest here. I enjoy being here but there are so many other things to do as well.. sometimes i really need to get out of the house.

I would not mind going to dinner with friends. Of course they work the opposite shift from mine so it's not always easy. Otherwise I wouldn't mind going up the mountains to see how many leaves have started to change colors. It's still early yet but they usually change colors earlier than down here. I'm off today but work tomorrow so I can't go all drastic with what I'd rather be doing.

@cahaya1983 There you go bringing up those mental picture I create when I am day dreaming. I love sitting under trees.. maybe a cherry blossom tree in bloom or a jacaranda or maybe a java cassia I love those three.. and would love having those blossoms fall into my lap.

I would never let online activity, even here, to get in the way of real world opportunities. I will be out this evening if some money I'm expecting has been paid into my account ok, though I will have my tablet with me so some writing might still get through.
